Sigh. Why can't I just quit with my Leo like I'm trying to be w a sign that actually wants to reciprocate my love for them for the long haul and I'm being that type of Virgo that gives and gives and I'm getting dust in return I just

If you're constantly giving to someone but getting nothing in return, then it's time to reevaluate the relationship. You'll need to voice your concerns in a calm way to the other person (in this case the Leo). I know a few Virgos who have trouble voicing their needs out loud, but instead expect the other person to almost read their minds (or just instinctively know what to do).

The other thing to know is that if someone isn't treating you fairly, then you need to back away from that person. Continuing to give to the perosn will only validate their behavior and make the problem worse. Don't let this Leo walk all over your feelings.

Yeah I know ur right. But I love him sososo much that all of this seems worth it, that it's only when I'm alone and reflect about it I realize how stupid I'm being.

My emotions are leaking from my heart to my brain and I can't differentiate between the two nor can I find the logic in what I'm feeling and my behaviors.

That's what's scaring me, I can't reign in my emotions, and that's not good for a Virgo.

I hate y'all I should be with an earth sign this is just

I only say this because I have a lot of Virgo friends who have gone through relationship issues like this. You can rein in your emotions, even if it's not easy. The problem is that you're in love with the idea of the Leo, not the person he actually is. In this way you are stuck in a no win situation and will need to hoist yourself out, otherwise you're helping to perpetuate the problem. Only you can bring this cycle to an end.

It's amazing to me that anyone would need an explanation of this. Shouldn't the pain of no reciprocation be enough to run away? People love pain,particularly women. Hurt me once, I turn to ice and protect myself.

The problem is we live in a society that practically romanticizes emotional pain. Additionally we as a human beings do very little to teach each other how to deal with romance. Instead we often rely on television and film, which follows the same cliched trope of "one must suffer for true love". Very rarely do the characters in any of those shows or movies opt to respect their own self worth and walk away from emotionally hurtful situation.

As a result the idea of understandings one's worth, understanding the value of one's own time and energy in the grand scheme of relationships goes flying out the window. If schools taught kids to value themselves and to only spend time with those who truly value them, human beings would be much better off for it.

@Chuckcem Do you believe in cusps? Like do you consider July 23 & August 23 as Leos?
I admittedly don't know enough about cusps because I've heard varying information on the topic, but I don't disregard them either. The idea of someone falling between two signs and having both energies as a result makes sense though. Astrology isn't a hard and fast idea in a lot of respects, and the energies can mesh in a myriad of ways. So cusps go along with that idea.

Also I'm pretty sure a few of my friends are cuspers, specifically Cancer/Leo and Leo/Virgo, so it makes sense based on them as well.

Yup,

Like what's so romantic about not feeling like you're wanted in return?



Oh wait, Nothing.

So this has been bugging me. When I was with my Leo we hung out practically all the time. There were a few times I wasn't able to make it due to family obligations etc. or I'd be a little late because I had to work over or something. I'd always tell him in advance if I wasn't going to be able to make it or was going to be late and would promise to make it up to him the next day which I definitely did.

The thing is he'd always get super upset and accuse me of dating other men or being too busy to make him a priority. Even if we had just seen each other the day before. I never once cheated on him or became interested in dating anyone else. He would also get very distant and even flat out ignore me. He'd tell me my communication skills sucked even though I made sure to inform him ahead of time of any plan changes. So my communication skills sucked even though he would flat out ignore me.

Why would a Leo male do this? Do they just crave attention all the time or is it something more to it than that? It's almost like he wanted me to jump when he said jump and if I didn't then I must be lying, cheating, not interested in him etc. Yet it was ok for him not to be available to see me when I wanted to see him. I just didn't throw a fit about it.

Confused by this behavior...
Better question, why would you date someone like this? Are all Leos like this? No. You dated an insecure, jealous control freak. They come in all shapes, sizes, and astrological signs. Your ex sounds like a child who was incapable of seeing his own flaws and therefore would project them on to you.

The moment he started accusing you of cheating and had you walking on eggshells, you should have dumped him. Do Leo men like attention? Yes. However what you've described goes beyond that into a realm of toxicity.

Hey, I am an Aries woman and I told a Leo man I thought he was cute. We hung out that same day and watched a movie. He tried to hang out with me two more times that same week, but our schedules didn’t work out. He asked what I was doing Friday night and I said nothing, he said he could come over and hang out when we got off work. I texted him to ask when he was coming over and then a little later about eating but he never replied. He ignored everything but was on Facebook all night. I was just wondering what happeend

Do you personally feel you're able to handle harsh criticism well? If so, how do you cope with it?

Do you internalize or outlet it immediately or just bide time with distractions until the pain subsides?
Leos typically do well with constructive criticism, but not necessarily harsh criticism. We don't like our flaws aired out for everyone to see, so it's best to have some finesse when critiquing a Leo. Being too blunt may come across as insulting.

That being said, the "harshness" a Leo can endure can vary per person. Like Virgos, Leos can also be blunt as we are also judgmental. I personally don't mind harsh criticism where it's warranted, but that may also be because of my Virgo Moon.

If you do rub a Leo the wrong way by being too critical, expect that Leo to either snap back or create considerable distance from you (or both). We Leos have a tendency to remove that which we don't like from our lives. We may internalize what you said and think on it, but you'd never know. We'd choose to save face and occupy our time with other activities.

So the Leo said he could come over on Friday and your reply back was asking what time he would swing by your place, correct? Was there any delay between when he text you and when you responded? To be honest there could be several reasons he didn't respond back, but there's no way to know without more information.

It's possible he got caught up with something else, or even someone else. To not respond back to you is rude, but there may be a reason for it.

Thank you for your response! He was just so convincing that he actually had me believing that maybe I was just a shitty girlfriend. He made me believe I needed to try harder. He knew just the things to do and say to hit you where it hurts you know? He was also good at turning things around on me. Like if he did something wrong he could turn things so much around to make it sound like I was the reason why he did what he did or that it was my fault.

As for accusing me of cheating....whenever I would spend the night at his place he'd have these random women texting and calling him on his phone. He'd always make excuses though. Of course I had no clue what those texts/calls were about as I did not have access to his phone. However, one night he had me looking up something on his phone for him. He stepped out for a moment and even though I know I shouldn't have, I could not resist. I took a look at his texts. There were all these women he had been texting and some he was meeting up with. One he met up with just the day before. He was also texting an out of state ex (whom he left me for the first time-long story) discussing the details of a trip he had planned to go and see her. This was a woman he said screwed him over and whom he said he hated. There were so many texts from different women that I did not have time to read them all before he came back in. I was gutted! 😔

That was the last straw for me. I know that I should have left him a lot sooner, but I cared deeply for him and it wasn't easy for me to let go. He suffered from alcoholism, depression, anxiety and ptsd and I tried to be there for him to help him through. Made sure he went to all of his AA meetings, talked him into keeping his psychiatrist appointments no matter how pointless he thought they were and just being a friend when he needed one. He did well for so long until he relapsed and went back to drinking and I don't like being around him when he's intoxicated. That combined with his accusations of me cheating, turning things around on me and making me feel like the bad guy and then finding out he had been talking to and seeing other women behind my back was just too much.

Despite all of this and despite all his flaws, he was a genuinely very kind, caring, loving and charming man. It's probably the reason I stuck with him for as long as I did. I guess all the Scorpio in me just couldn't let go. I still miss him and I guess a part of me always will. I just couldn't see myself living like that for long term. It would slowly eat away at me. And I know not all Leo men are like this. It would be foolish for me to think so.

Anyway, thank you again for shedding some light on this situation.

It's good that you got out. Some people are simply toxic and incapable of taking responsibility for their actions. You don't need a person like that in your lfie.

I've definitely tried to bite my tongue a few times around some of my favorite Leo people. I know they don't want their pride unnecessarily bruised, and as someone with heavy Leo placements in my chart, I can definitely relate! I wouldn't want my ego damaged either. I guess I'll just have to be a little more mindful of my words when criticizing others. I cringe at the times I've been careless and let my prudent judgement get the best of me instead of taking others feelings into consideration. Thank you for your input.

The "easiest" way to critique a Leo is to make your criticism seems like a helpful suggestion. That way you're criticism will never seem too harsh.

Do a lot of you make rash decisions without fully thinking it through even though you THOUGHT you did... Only to become remorseful and sad that you fucked up in the end?

Do you walk away and sweep it away or come back with your tail between your legs looking for mercy?
The unfortunate truth is yes this can happen. We're fire signs, so if we don't keep our anger in check we can EXPLODE. Since we're a fixed sign this explosion can be built up over time, which means we typically won't go off randomly (depending on the Leo's placements). Typically the issue has been boiling in our minds/hearts for some time and we were too proud to mention it.

If a Leo explodes it usually means that we felt that we were being neglected or taken advantage of too often, possibly by someone we care about. A less emotionally mature Leo will do something drastic to "set an example". I will say that all Leos though will huff and puff before this though. Some will become irritable, while others will just outright tell you what's bothering us. If we feel ignored, then eventually we may pop (or walk away or both).

Again the frequency and intensity of a Leo's anger can vary per Leo and the situation. The more hurt we are, the bigger the blast. The more emotional/emotionally immature we are, the more likely it is we'll do something stupid to get your attention.

The issue is, Leos fear our own anger. Our anger is upsetting to us because when we become angry we can feel justified. Unlike Aries or Sag though, once we are upset it can take a while for us to calm down and cool off. We know we can take things too far if we lose control. So we usually try to keep these emotions at bay. Similar to Aquarius that can have a difficult time resolving their deep emotions, Leos can have a hard time confronting our negative emotions. We opt to remain positive as much as possible.

This is why Leos can work well with air signs. Air signs can give the means to communicate our thoughts, but not always in a way that helps us diffuse our emotions. If a Leo feels that the commnication is too cold, detached, or impassionate, we may seek to heat things up. We may become resentful if we feel our emotions aren't being respected.

That all being said, we are still human. Once the emotions subside and the rationality comes back, we may realize how much we messed up. If we cared about you, then yes we'll be remorseful. The only problem is our pride. A Leo who is not emotionally mature will let his/her pride rule their actions. They may stay away to save face. However on the other hand, Leos are often powered by love and not afraid of murky situations, so there's a good chance we'll apologize to repair the damage we caused.

I personally used to explode when I was a kid. I was raised around a lot of fire signs, so the consequences were never dire. However as I got older I realized how ineffective this was to maintaining relationships long term. Now I make sure to communicate my frustrations rationally and calmy (sometimes multiple times), instead of exploding all over the place.

If a Leo decides we are done with a person, then we are done. They'll probably never hear from us again. Furthermore if a Leo is truly TRULY angry (which honestly takes a lot because it means our love for you is gone), we'll burn the bridge and not look back. Whatever damage was done will be permanent and we'll have no intention of repairing anything. This is extremely rare and possibly not something you'll have to witness.

In your particular situation it's pretty clear that your Leo wasn't the best at rationalizing his emotions. He let his anger rule his head and he popped. He had a burst of irrationality (and childish immaturity) and didn't realize the effects of his actions until he had taken things too far. He handled things poorly to say the least, so it's not surprising that he would regret his outburst.

My question:

@Chuckcem As a leo M What's been your experience with leo women?
Overall positive. My first love was a Leo and I have several female Leo family members too. There are a lot of similarities, so our personalities can clash when we are too similar. I've had to distance myself from one or two Leo ladies who let their egos flare up in front of me. However I still understand where that energy is coming from as well and will often find myself attracted to it (even if I'm not attracted to the woman herself).

air signs don't diffuse emotions, they show their emotions when they are catching those feelings. unlike other signs where it might be more stable, air is intangible...it comes and goes..they can be very emotional though. however they might be better at controlling or detaching than most..using logic over emotions

leos are very emotional and may require air sign to reciprocate. pushy leos might cause resentment, if they force emotions out of an air sign. when leo and air sign reciprocate for a while that is well. leo depending on the situation will not hide much and remain fixed. allowing air sign to have their freedom to roam while leo focuses on own tasks

Wtf this doesn't make sense. How are they working well with leos id they can't even help you diffuse your emotions. Stupid

@nightowl has got it. Remember that fire signs aren't entirely emotional, we're passionate and/or energetic. Since Leos are fixed we can be more emotional, but that isn't our foundation the way it is for water signs. Fire needs air to breathe, the same way we need conversation to air out our ideas, dreams, goals etc.

That being said I would say the reverse is true for Leos and water signs. Water signs give us the means to express and delve into our emotions, but not always in a way that helps us communiate our practical thoughts. The mixing of fire and water can either result in water drowning fire, fire boiling water, or the dissolution of both into steam and smoke.

I admit it, fire sign women emasculate me, I am not the most confident person. I am also

ultra chill and passive even during difficult situations. That doesnt go well with aggressive domineering women am I right? I am either more energetic, confident and aggressive than them or I get submissive, which is not an option for me. Do you think, I have to improve myself or do Earth and Fire dont match? They tend to take charge and tell me what to do. I restrain them, I call them out, but they just dont stop. Leo woman piss me off, because they love "asking" me for favors, such as getting something.

For some reason I end up with fire women but it never goes well and I end up getting humiliated and

then I fight back with fury, it gets dirty and we part on bad terms. Why do I keep ending up with fire women?

Is it because they have what I lack? There must be a reason for that.Are there relationships where the fire woman provide the drive without the men minding it? Are we passive and mellow by nature, or am I not in touch with my primal side. I am more venting than asking a question, whats your take on my problem? Should I improve myself or date other women?

You make a good point about fire wiman. Im a libra so im chill and nonchalant so the fire woman burn a fire desire in me and make me better. That passion that i "kinda lack" gets pulled out by them. Cant get enough of Leo woman to be honest.

Well first no woman should be able to emasculate you. You'll definitely want to work on your own confidence in that regard. There's nothing wrong with being chill/laid back, this can be attractive to women who are looking for a stable partner (which earth signs tend to be). Just be sure to be confident in yourself first and foremost.

Fire and Earth can be a tricky relationship because Earth can often stifles Fire's energetic disposition. Fire signs can find Earth signs to be stubborn, dull, or slow moving. It takes a LOT for an earth sign to move after all. So for Fire and Earth signs to work, there must be a mutual understanding that the two have completely different speeds of operating coupled with different drives.

If you find yourself constantly drawn to fire women, it's probably because you like their vibe. Something in them resonates with you. Just work on your own self esteem and everything else will fall into place.

hello Leos!

Its Aries female , 27 year -old.

I have a question.

Do you like to be pursued if you know that some woman is strong?

Or is it only about attention that this person gives to you?

My problem is that I like some Leo man.

We have worked for some projects before. He liked me i liked him but i didnt want to mix the personal and professional lifes together. That time i havent healed from Virgo ex.

But then after some months we started facebooking with Leo, asking about each other. It was a new environment for me and still he was my 'mentor'. I knew he liked me he pursued me very fast, and i got scared because i wanted to know him as a friend first - not friendzone.

But maybe he thougth about it as a friendzone.

Some months after accidentally we met on a party and started talking and i continued the friend-relation . I was pursuing him first, i was confident i was the one who initiated the conversations. He didnt matter, our talks had a 'flow', it was great. He started considering me as a friend, started inviting me somewhere but started also being jealous on a weird way.

As for someone who didnt want me in a romantic way but didnt want anyone to pursue me.

Like a dog in a manger.

He was helping me several times before i moved out to Spain. He was helping me with school stuff, with documents with projects. Even inviting me to his office because he liked me and we had a 'flow' in a conversation. It was pure fun to 'break my and his mask' and be 'normal to each other.

But after some good times my ex randomly got friends with him and started doing me a bad PR . So leo was hurt and leo was even telling me bad words. He didnt want to see me. I do not know why as he was jealous or something.

I moved out to Spain. In spain we continued talking, we had a contact he helped me with some documents to my master thesis. We told each other that when i come back we would have a beer, or he would invite me somewhere.

And i think that i started to overanalyse this situation adding some romantic scenarios. When i came back we were talking normally but i felt he was distant.

I started reminding him about that beer but on a friend level- as i didnt go for his bday that he invited me, i wanted to make an exchange and invite him for a beer. He said- yes i will catch you i will give you a call and silence.

Those situations repeated 2-3 times in 2-3 month period. He always couldnt but was always in my city hanging out with friends. So i started to ignore him completly. I blocked him on whatsapp, on fb. So when he saw that he started to write to me, addint me on other social media applications.

And he was always the one who had the last word.

Last time 1 month ago he told me he would give me a call ( again) and he didnt. So i ignored him but since that time we have met twice randomly. Once on a party and once in a cinema.

Party was 3 weeks ago and he was behaving weirdly analysing me was very silent.

Cinema was 3 days ago , i went alone, and when leaving the cinema i met him and his friend. We had a short talk. He invited me for the movie he was going with his friend but i already had other plans and i said no thank you. I was a bit sharp remembering he ignored me 2-3 times.

But i was nice and funny. AT the end he said sth like : see you around, see you soon.

But didnt contact me after that.

and i do not know if he lost interest because of my ex talking to him some bad PR or he just lost interest , just because.

he knows i am single.

he never writes to me first. only when i wanted something. he liked to be pursued. even when he was organising my documents for thesis he told me it was me who needed to talk to him first and he likes that.

he was always encouraging me to talk to him 1st . BUT WHY?

why does he do it? why does he feel like a king?

i am aries i can ignore people very fast and he doesnt like it.

but why its me who always needs to remind about myself?

we are friends but i am sometimes very fed up. he wrote to me 1st maybe 2-3 times when we were doing projects 2 years ago. now, when both of us have different career path he never writes to me.

i am also focused on my work and on my studies but maybe it should be me who pursue lion?

once he told me it was a pleasure for him to talk and to help me. but it was when i was in spain 4 000 km away from my country. when i came back and we were supposed to meet accidentally he couldnt awnd as making so big excauses that i didnt understand. was scared? why?

or he is just not that into me 🙂?

and my last question is - should i completly move on and ignore him and let go of him or should i take him as a friend? and have contact with him but on a friend relation?

Yes we do like to be pursued, or rather, we like to know that a woman is confident enough to pursue us. There's nothing sexier than a confident woman who knows what she wants and is unapologetic about getting it. Since we are so used to being the aggressors, we appreciate a woman who pursues us with the same passion (as long as we're interested that is). Of course we would want that attention directed towards us in that case.

The first problem I see is that you tried to get to know him as a friend because you were afraid at how fast he was moving. Leos move with purpose and a lot faster than people would expect when we're interested. If someone backs off once we are on the move, we may doubt that person's interest.

Did you actually tell the Leo that your wanted "friendship" or "let's be friends"? If so, he immediately assumed that he was friendzoned, regardless of what your intentions might have been. Even if you didn't say the words outright, he probably realized that your interest was not romantic, so backed off.

Guys know that women will be "friends" for a number of reasons that could have nothing to do with actual friendship. So we won't stick around if that's not what we want. Basically if a man is looking for romance (especially a Leo), dont offer us friendship and expect our interest to stay piqued. It's a quick way to douse the flames of our interest. Some guys may stick around to see if the scenario changes, while others will cut their losses.

When you two got reacquainted months later, he didn't know what to do with you. Remember that Leos are goal oriented people. We must know where something is headed if we are going to invest time into it. If we don't have a goal in mind, we'll test the waters for a little while, but not for long. Sounds like the Leo was friendly with you in case romance was possible, but still didn't trust your intentions. So he let you sit in "friend" limbo for a while to see what you would do.

If you were interested in this Leo, you should have made your romantic intentions much clearer. Hanging around as friends and talking didn't really inspire a Leo to think about you romantically. Though in the back of his mind he probably thought that you might just be using him and his resources to move to Spain. That's the thing about Leos, we have big hearts and are very resourceful. We'll help those we care about, knowing that the favor may never be returned. Our hope though is that our good deeds won't go unnoticed and that we'll eventually find a kindred spirit who will reciprocate.

I imagine any romance that could have been rekindled died once the Leo guy met your Virgo ex. My question is, how did that even happen? It sounds like the Virgo guy may have said some negative things about you. After that it was all downhill from there. The Leo couldn't trust you and probably had his suspicions verified by the Virgo. I imagine the Virgo ex gave you a scathing character review.

From there the Leo became even more confused about you. He probably knew that he shouldn't rely on the word of the Virgo, but didn't have enough information to discredit him either. Since you two have been playing this "faux friendship" game even though you clearly have feelings for one another, real trust was never built between you. Since we Leos protect are hearts adamantly, the Leo guy never felt totally comfortable moving things along with you.

To make matters worse, you were sharp with him about ignoring you even though you were the one who originally blocked him on social media. Yes you may have blocked him because he was being flippant with his communication, but blocking someone is a far stronger statement than simply ignoring them. Leos see blocking as a permanent thing and take it as a slight. Once you unblocked him, the Leo realized that you might be manipulating him to get his attention.

That being said, trying to be critical with the Leo guy after you blocked him just made you look like a hypocrite. At this point the Leo put all of the effort on you. In his mind you were not very consistent. So in order for him to feel comfortable with you, he wants to see your consistency first. It sounds like this Leo is giving you a chance to be clear with your intentions, but he's not going to make much effort from his end anymore.

So the real question is, what do you want? If you are actually interested in this Leo romantically, you need to let him know directly and stop pretending to be his "friend". If you were his true friend you wouldn't have blocked him on social media when his communication became spotty. True friendship is built on understanding and typically does not come with expectations. If this was one of your girlfriends who blew you off, you probably wouldn't go so far as to block them on social media, even if you were annoyed by them.

@Chuckcem

thank you for your long and interesting answer.

the problem is that i know what you are saying. i felt the same . i hate being manipulated. virgo manipulated me.

about 2.5 year ago i had a romance with virgo who turned out to be a very big 'ass**hole' and only was using people for business- he didnt have any emotions.

i didnt know that i was one of HIS FEW GIRLS and i felt devastated because i thought that even when you start dating someone with sleeping with him you kind of stick to one person.

we had arguments and i ignored virgo because he was meeting with other girls claiming they are his girls , some of them were his 'best friends'. i hate those relations. i felt bad.

i ignored him and started doing my things. after some months when i became popular virgo wanted to comeback and made me 'number one' girl - because people got to know me and were telling somegood things about me in an environment.

so he thought it would be easy for him to come back to me. but i didnt want. and when i said NO he became my enemy, was spying me on parties, on social media.

became friends with my other friends and so one.

leo man also works in the same environment. in this environment everyone knows each other. i met leo man almost 2 years after my romance with Virgo.

we became friends, i knew he liked me but he was coming too strong and i backed off. additionally with our projects with leo, virgo guy was also hired.

and i had a 'mind blown' was not sure because virgo had a big ego and pride and everytime we were meeting in an office or some project he must have shown that he is better than me and must have brung me down somehow giving me a bad comment, telling something about me, or even behaving in a way that i only knew he wanted to destroy me and didnt want me to move on.



virgo is a professional and leo and his office started to work with him and with others.

i started not to talk to anyone because i knew that virgo is a bad man and he would tell someone about us when my life andmy career would go in a good direction. like he wanted to destroy me or something.

so one time before my moving to spain , in leo's office i met also virgo and we had a very bizzare professional meeting.

it was awful- during next week some 3rd party people told me that leo was so angry at me and virgo was telling everyone he slept with me.

he could have also added some other information that i didnt know and i will not know.

so i am in a limbo. that is why i was hesitating with leo man because i saw that virgo was my shadow going behind me. he captured the leo and started to tell him about me because he didnt want him to like me.

because i already moved on. i didnt want virgo's offer from 2 years past. i didnt want to be one of a few girls who only rely on him with work. i was searching for a boyfriend, not for such complicated relation....

but i came to spain.we were flirting with leo guy and whenever we talked he was telling me that i needed to tell him when i come back.

when i came back he already invited me for bday party but i was sick and couldint come. he understood. but then, when i started inviting him, or offering a meeting he didnt want, started making excauses.

it was 2-3 times when he was about to tell me but he didnt. like he ignored me 1st time for one month...

second time dor 3 weeks.

and i knew he was also online because he was partying with other people, he was on some business trips abroad... he just didnt answer me and when he answered it was the same answer twice- i will call you, i will tell you, wait, next week, i dont know, maybe...



and when a man tells those words it is 100% sure that he doesnt want to meet.

so i assumed he ignored me and he didnt want anything with me.

because i am also busy. i do not work as him but i can be busy at my place working on my diploma. i dont have to be 100% online when i am home...

people think that when i am home i am always onlie and its me who needst to wait for others because other friends already work and already tell everyone that they are BUSY and they show it off...

its so strange.

so thats why i blocked him because i felt neglected. but unblocked him. it was ok, a game, aybe stupid. but i felt that he is the one who can ignore me and i am the want who must wait. but when i ignore he doesnt like it .

maybe i have also a big ego, he also has a big ego..

but im not gonna chase a man....

i was always nice to him. and after the situation that virgo told him about us Leo man changed and i think made even 'a bit of distance'.

i think he was testing me when i was abroad , flirting with me, maybe checking on me. i dont know.

but when i came back and i was ok, i was normal and i started offering meetings, i started inviting him he backed off.

and he doesnt have anyone. i know it. he works a lot. he is a workaholic.

venus and mars in virgo.

but moon in sag so he wants to be free.

I feel as if this post has been done before...Heck I may have done one a year ago. There seem to be a lot of questions regarding Leos (a lot about Leo Men too). So if you don't feel like posting a new topic but just want to pick a Leo;s brain, feel free. Fellow Leos please chime in as well.

Here are some brainstorming questions to get the ball rolling. Feel free to answer:

What is the most you've spent on a first date? (Because we love our grand gestures don't we?)

What is your favorite sexual position? (Because...yeah...)

What is the largest number of suitors or romantic prospects you've had at any one time?

Have you ever cheated on someone? (Only the bold should answer this one)

What was your favorite subject in school?

I see. My points still stand, but I understand your perspective. I can say that between the Virgo man's gossip and the indirect nature of your approach, the Leo became doubtful. I always advise to NEVER chase someone who is ignoring you though. If someone is not communicating with you, it's always best to remove your attention from them as well. This will typically work in your favor if the other person has any interest in you.

You saw this firsthand when you blocked the Leo. Again I don't recommend blocking someone unless you mean it, but this clearly inspired the Leo to reach out to you again. I suggest that whenever the Leo stops communicating with you, you should also back away from him.

Even though he said that he wanted you to contact him first, he's clearly not responding this positively.One thing to know is when the Leo man became jealous, he showed that he had some interest in you. A Leo won't get jealous unless we are interested.

I will admit, this Leo guy's lack or response does seem odd. I feel as if there' a part of the story missing. If I had to guess, the Leo either has a new woman he's talking to OR the Virgo guy is still in his ear (or possibly both). However, it could also be possible that he's just slammed with work right now. We Leo's can be very busy people, and may drop commnication if we have a lot we are dealing with at work.

If not, I'd guess that the Leo guy started to resent you. He may have expected more from this situation by now, only to still be in "friendzone". He may also be giving you a taste of your own medicine by ignoring you, since you blocked him. Once you unblocked him, you gave the "power" back to him (this is also why I suggest not blocking someone unless you mean it).

That being said, leave the Leo alone for now. If/When he reaches out, let him know that you'd like to see him. Then see if he's willing to make plans to get together.

Just leave him alone for now. Don't reach out to him. At this point he needs to come back to you. If something is bothering him, he needs to be an adult and communicate.

What does a Leo believe McNuggets are really made of

click to expand

McNuggets are ground chicken combined with the paste of ground chicken skin. This is seasoned with white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and sugar. The chicken paste is chilled and cut into nugget shapes that are breaded in a mixture of white flour, corn flour, cornstarch, black pepper, egg, water, and vodka to create a tempura-like coating. This is all fried in a combination of vegetable oil, canola oil, and beef fat tallow.

I believe that's what McNuggets are made of normally.

ok he ignores me.

completly. ignores my messages , my questions and so one.

i dont know why. he was nice on sunday when we met accidentally.

now i see he ignores me. i wrote to him with a question to fill some survey to my university. i also wrote on my facebook wall as well as asked other people.

he is the one who didnt answer completly. he actually ignored me.

didnt say anything like : hey, ok. or even _i dont have time.
Just leave him alone for now. Don't reach out to him. At this point he needs to come back to you. If something is bothering him, he needs to be an adult and communicate.

@Chuckcem

thank you again for your answer. it really helps me.

i know he does not have anyone because on sunday i saw him accidentally at the cinema with his male friend, a coworker.

so i assumed he didnt have a woman because in other case he would go to see movies with her. (?)

he was nice on sunday i was a bit surprised but actually he asked me if i wanted to go to see movies with them. but i already had other plans because i didnt expect him to be there. so i refused.

but still he wished me a nice evening and said sth like see you soon, see you around.

that is why i understood he was 'ok' so i wanted to reach out by sending my survey for master thesis .

really. i just wanted to make a 'move' and see if he will respond or not.

he works a lot. he has his own company and he helps others with businesses. he is generally nice.

but i didnt know why he ignored me.

i feel deeply that he likes me but there are circumstances from my side and from his side that actually are not making it happen.

maybe he just wants to be friends. he just wants to have quick girlfriends, flings with party girls that he meets on parties.

i dont go there because i am overworked with diploma.



but i am not a child i can ask a man out so i was doing it before. but he was rejecting me.

maybe he just wants to be friend. i dont know.

he sees my all snapchat , instagram and facebook messanger stories - i know its stupid but sometimes i do it to be not forgotten - some people write to me when i post some pictures and so one, i mean some people 'react', he does not react.

he must be 'poked' to react.

i know that sometimes he is just not on social media. like 1 day or 20 hours away from facebook messanger- because he works or he just spends time with coworkers.

i think i just need to calm down and focus on my work. he knows my studies are hard and i spend a lot of time doing it. especially these times when i work on my diploma and i become frustrated becuse my work doesnt seem to progress as fast as i wanted to before...

sometimes you just cant be a robot and you need to chill.



and i know that sometimes my behaviour emotions can become annying to others. i stopped to throw them upon people. i just become distant because i dont want anyone to be overwhelmed by my emotions.

on sunday at the cinema i was also a bit 'disorganised' surprised that i saw him but i was not a 'girlfriend' material type that day. i was a 'pal' a friend type. we had a quick short talk

i dont know why he ignored me.

but as you say i need to back off.

when he ignores me i ignore him twice as much.

i will stop posting things on social media.

i am just getting frustrated because of my diploma it influences my whole life. i am stressed and i dont wanna feel stressed among Leo because he 'feels me'.

before even before i moved to Spain he was always asking me about my day and about my attidute because he was guessing something was right or not. so i assume he can feel my 'negative vibes now'.

i hate that.

maybe i just think of him too much because then when i meet him i get paralysed. i need to calm down and focus on myself.





i just do not want him to think that i used him or i am using his 'good will' for my purposes - like helping for my diploma and so one.

but really when he helped me we were to meet up and i bought him something from Spain because he was asking for it in a joking way. so i did that. and when i started mentioning this when i came back he backed off. started to ignore me. it was in august.

yes its been almost 4 months. and nothing happened. i just wish i finished diploma.



thank you

@MiZLeo How long did you keep the Pisces tagging along before you finally expressed to him your feelings that you had for him?
Tag along—? Not if I have feelings for you.... with Pisces men I really have never had an issue about how I felt about them, good or bad. But I won't verbally express it until I know what his feelings are first. If I am spending time with someone it's because I like them. I don't waste my time on people I don't like.... or let them "tag along". If it's just friendship I will always says I like you as a friend.

This is odd but currently in a situation with a Leo and oddly enough same birth day and mars as you. She knows that I am interested and she'll throw hints here and there but hasn't came out and expressed that's she's interested also. Here goes the Pisces in me but I can sense that she wants to but is afraid of getting hurt. So my question to you is how do I resolve this problem?

Be firm with her, I feel as though the only reason why she's holding back is probably because she's unsure of how much she feels for you. She's probably still trying to analyse the situation see if it fits for her.

Might seem like a weird question, but do you let others see you cry?

My Leo grandmother had a heart of gold and I never saw her cry once. Or raise her voice for that matter. My Leo father is the same. So compassionate and caring, and I only remember seeing him cry two times.

Once when he came home from putting our first dog we had down, he loved that German Shepherd so much, and he wanted to take her to the vet alone. He came back and his eyes were red and puffy. So I didn’t see him cry, but I know he did 😢

And when my Grandfather passed in August, That was the first time I saw him fight tears that he couldn’t.

Is that a common trait in Leo’s? I feel like it is in my experiences with them. You all seem to try so hard to stay strong for everyone else.

Does it ever make you break down privately?

Yes. All the time. It's hard for me to hold my tears back because my emotions are written all over my face 99% of the time, but I hate when people see me cry. I'd rather have my breakdowns happen when I'm all alone.

Aw, this really does seem like a Leo thing. Such big hearts but you don’t want to let others see that vulnerable side 💙

Hardly anyone has ever seen me cry as a teenager or adult aside from my parents. Even then I rarely cry, it just doesn't make sense to me. Every Leo is different though. Some are more comfortable letting people see them cry than others.

Agreed all Leo’s are different. Just like all Gem’s are different and all of that. Or any sun sign we’re talking about.

This is one thing I’ve really noticed in every Leo I know. You and SunQueen feel the same way I’ve seen the Leo’s in my life feel.

You’re all so strong, and it seems like crying to you is a very private thing you feel like you can only do alone. Male or female doesn’t even matter.

Do you think it’s because you need to stay strong for everyone else? Or it just feels too personal to share with anyone else and you need to do that alone? If I’m getting too pushy and personal you don’t have to answer ChuckCem.

You already answered so thank you for that 🙂

It's because it comes with a feeling of helplessness, which is rarely what a Leo wants to feel. If there's one goal Leos try to achieve is being resourceuful. For me crying is the result of all of my options running out. Even if my resources fail, I can generally get things done through sheer force of will if necessary. So for me crying is what happens when there is no hope, when there's absolutely nothing I can do.

Oh my gosh. I understand what you’re saying and it makes so much sense. I actually want to cry after reading this.

I know most of you don’t want anyone to see you upset, and you don’t want to even feel upset. But we all need to sometimes.

As long as you have a way to get those feelings out, which most of you seem to have a way to keep it all balanced and keep your emotions in check, you’re doing amazing.

Thanks for your reply and better understanding 🤗

At this point you're overthinking things. Take a step back and focus on your own life and goals. It sounds like things between you two have become complicated, so creating space would be the healthy thing to do here.
yes i know. thank you.

but it does not mean i need to be invisible to other friends. i can talk, meet people ,

i just need a space between me and him.

@Chuckcem one question more.

sometimes i remember when being around this Leo i felt like he was very powerful and like a 'parent'.

i do not know why i felt not equal but a bit 'lower'.

not in a negative sense but as he would be more life-work- experienced than me.

maybe its because he is 28, finished studies 4 years ago, has his own company and is a normal 'adult'. makes money, has a driving license and so one.

sometimes it was like 1 year ago i felt like im not at the same level and i needed to prove myself to be his level. not having the driving license but mentally.

i do not know if he only preceives me as a friend because of that. i am family oriented, i am organised but now after my Spanich exchange i came back to my parents house. I still live with them, doing my final diploma and wanting to sign for a driving licence.

i remember that before it was 1-1.5 year ago he was more 'immature', more funny, was around younger people. now he only hangs out with business friends. older men.

and i know that leos are very proud and very goal oriented and they seek the same 'level' for a girlfriend.

as i could notice he is surrounded by older women- like 5 -6 year old older women than me or him. because generally when it comes to business women are a bit 'slower' and they gain the same 'level' usually slower at the older age than men.

i saw that among my friends. so maybe he is very picky, likes me only as a friend. sees that i am organised but i am not the 'package' he looks for.

now i feel more powerful and more responsible but still sometimes i feel like i am lacking something.i prefer to be around older people but i can not because i still study. its like i do not know where to gain experience, life experience.

its not only about him but generally. sometimes i feel like i lack the 'responsibility' or the 'maturity'

This is common. I can't tell you how many times I've hear how "detached, aloof, mature, professional" etc I seemed to people (women especially) before they got to know me. I often come across as distant or detached unbeknownst to me. Likewise my softer side only comes out when women get close enough to see it.

We Leos can be intimidating when we are in our zone. A professional Leo or one who wears their influence/power well will almost seem untouchable. This of course is not true, it's just the air we exude. It's the image we've built for ourselves for others to see and believe.

It possible that the Leo matured so that we can further his professional goals, but somewhere inside he's still that goofball you knew. You'd only see it though when he was away from his work environment. Since the two of you are colleagues, that may be a side he's hiding from you.

Outrageously redundant question however... If you've been ignoring a leo man, if he's been with another woman, would he tell you this?.
Your question is confusing. Are you asking whether or not a Leo man would notice if you were ignoring him because he was with another woman?

If I understood your question correctly, the answer is even if the Leo realized you were ignoring him, he wouldn't care to bring it up because he's with another woman. His needs are already being taken care of by her.

Another thing to know is that if the Leo realizes you are ignoring him, it could go a number of ways, but none that would result in your favor. Make sure that if you are ignoring a Leo, stick to it. We'll lose all respect for you if we realize you're just being manipulative or passive aggressive to get our attention.

Mum and both sisters are Leo, I also know a few other Leo men and woman.

Listening to my mum complain about all her "housework" it dawned on me.

It led me to believe that most Leo are very untidy at home, I mean housework is not a strong point. What say you other Leo's? Having known my mum and sisters all my life I can assure you their home is in a perpetual state of "I need to clean this... I need to clean that." But it never gets done and they hoard everything.

I am sticking to it Mr Chuckem..... I have been ignoring him because, he has been disrespectful and royally being hurtful to me... I did say, if he wanted to have an open and honest dialogue to resolve this then to call me. Instead he has been texting daily about irrelevant stuff rather than discussing it..... I told him I would not tolerate bad behavior and wished him well.... He continues to text each day for a week still not discussing the problem and I haven't responded.
